  • For the nerd in all of us

    These guys keep it nerdy - which is exactly why I come back week after week. They give (usually) fair and balanced reviews of games and share great insights on news stories.

  • One of the hosts is a bad take GOAT

    the quantity and “quality” of bad takes that come from the brain of one of the hosts is pretty impressive and never fails to entertain. A good show to get the blood pumping; try listening to it while working out.

Hands On with Resident Evil Requiem and Onimusha: Way of the Sword
Q: When you die, is that aspect of death similar to like a soul's like, where those souls will go away and then you can get them back?
I didn't die, but I assume it's either a reload situation, or like a checkpoint resume and you haven't lost anything.

It does not feel like Sekiro at all.. this is a very different action game.
